1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3Consider me and respond, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me.
